Tesla Inc. has released its quarterly vehicle safety report, detailing the company’s safety record in the second quarter of 2025. The report comes ahead of the company’s earnings call.
Key Findings
- The company recorded one crash for every 6.69 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology.
- In contrast, Tesla recorded one crash for every 963,000 miles driven when drivers were not using the Autopilot advanced driver assistance system.
- Last quarter’s data showed one crash for every 7.44 million miles driven with Autopilot, and one crash per 1.51 million miles driven without Autopilot.
Why This Matters
The release of this data comes as Tesla faces scrutiny over its Autopilot system. Recently, a Tesla engineer testified in court that the company did not maintain Autopilot crash records until 2018. This testimony was part of a hearing over a fatal accident in 2019.
Additionally, Tesla is facing a lawsuit from California’s DMV for false advertising. The agency accuses the company of overestimating the capabilities of the Autopilot system, as well as Full Self-Driving. The lawsuit seeks a suspension of the company’s license to sell cars in California.
Tesla’s Sales Performance
- Tesla sales are down 12% in the U.S. during the second quarter.
- Sales in California have slipped over 21% year-to-date through June, despite the Model Y and the Model 3 remaining top-selling models in the state.
Conclusion
Tesla’s quarterly vehicle safety report provides valuable insights into the company’s safety record. However, the company still faces challenges, including lawsuits and declining sales. As the company moves forward, it will be important to watch how these factors impact its performance.
